Over a year in the works, we finally have moved to our new facility in Howell Michigan.



Here is our new contact information



We also purchased and installed a new state of the art aluminum brazing furnace. DeWitts is the only aluminum radiator supplier that makes their own cores in house, in the USA.

That's amazing Tom, it reminds me of that massive new structure OCC built and moved into with new equipment and a fresh look. VERY impressive.

Hi Tom,
Congratulations on your new facility!!!
When you reproduced the proper radiator for my 71 SB it made my whole day... maybe my whole year. I never thought I'd never see a fine reproduction as you produce. Thank You.
Regards,
Alan

Good luck with the new building
Maybe now with all the new room YOU could design a Parallel flow condencer that is a DIRECT fit replacement for a 68-72 vette converting to 134 from R 12

You know, if Tom ever got into modern A/C systems for C3s I would be interested. Mine is just defunct/non-functional but with all original parts in place but with the belt removed from the A6 compressor. The local GM dealer wants a king's ransom to do a re-do and conversion. I know there are other companies out there that have kits available but there seem to be so many problems with their units. I would be looking for a retro-fit kit for a stock 1974 A/C system for a reasonable price. No problem just replacing the A6 and hoses.

Impressive. US Engineering and manufacturing still sets the standard for others to follow.
